Magician in Scarborough for wedding days to remember

From confetti to cake: a magician in Scarborough at your wedding

The drinks reception is the slot most couples book first. It's the part of the day with the least going on: you're off having photos, the bar's open, and guests are introducing themselves to people they've never met. Lewis works his way round the room in small groups, spending a few minutes with each before moving on. By the time dinner's called, there's a real buzz in the room.

He makes sure everyone gets a look in. The elderly relatives who've found a seat, the plus-ones who don't know anyone, the children who've already had too much lemonade. If you know of anyone who might feel a bit left out, tell Lewis before the day and they'll get an early visit.

At the wedding breakfast he moves between tables during the gaps between courses. Guests stay in their seats, the magic happens on the tablecloth, and conversation keeps flowing while the next plate is on its way. He works round the venue team's timings and is well out of the way by the time the speeches begin.

Couples looking for a wedding magician in Scarborough often book the evening as well. Evening guests arrive after the meal and can feel like latecomers for a while. A few tricks at the bar while the room is changed round gets them involved straight away. There's more about planning the day on the wedding magician page.

Smaller weddings suit magic too. If it's thirty people at a long lunch, Lewis can spend more time with each table, so it feels more like a relaxed conversation than a performance.

Christmas parties and work dos in Scarborough

Lewis is booked for a lot of work events, and companies such as Toys "R" Us and SCA have hired him in the past. Close-up magic is a good way to get colleagues mixing without anybody feeling forced into it. A crowd gathers round a trick, people from different teams start chatting, and the evening relaxes.

For a Christmas party, he'll usually do mingling magic as people arrive, then table magic once the meal starts. Every table gets a visit, not just the ones near the bar. He'll plan round any awards or speeches, so send him your running order beforehand.

A magician in Scarborough also works well at client evenings and product launches, giving your team a natural way to start a conversation. With notice, Lewis can work your company name or product into a trick. Have a look at the corporate entertainment page for more.

Think about the people who usually hang back at a staff do. The temp who started on Monday, the partner who's been dragged along, the colleague who's driving and sticking to orange juice. A magician in Scarborough doing the rounds gives each of them a few minutes where they're right in the middle of things, and that tends to set the tone for the rest of the evening.

Summer parties and long service dinners get the same approach. Whatever the event, he fits round your plans rather than the other way round.

Golden weddings, fortieths and family get-togethers in Scarborough

Family celebrations are some of Lewis's favourite events. A fortieth, a golden wedding anniversary or a christening lunch brings together people of all ages, and close-up magic works for every one of them. Children get to help with the tricks, teenagers get something worth filming, and grandparents get something they can follow at their own pace.

A magician in Scarborough also gives the host a breather. You can't talk to every guest at once, and while you're sorting the food, Lewis keeps everyone else entertained. The party magician page has more on how he handles mixed-age crowds.

Whoever you're celebrating can be the star of a special trick if they'd like. If they'd rather stay in the background, Lewis keeps the attention elsewhere.

For a ruby or golden wedding anniversary, the room often holds three or even four generations. Booking a magician in Scarborough for that kind of party gives grandchildren and grandparents something to marvel at together, and it's a lovely thing to see a seven year old and an eighty year old arguing over how a trick was done.

Garden parties are fine too. Lewis is happy to work outside on a patio or lawn, finding groups wherever they've gathered, by the barbecue or round the drinks table. If the weather turns and everyone heads indoors, he simply follows. And for a house party, he'll fit round the food and any toasts you've planned.
